I am a therapist who believes that clients should be empowered to guide therapy based on their own goals. I strive to create a safe shared space for therapy where clients can explore their own feeling, thoughts, and experiences. I am committed to working with clients from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences. My therapeutic focus is helping clients heal and grow as well as challenging them to develop their own skills for adapting to the many challenges of life. My hope as a therapist is to help clients find their own strength, knowledge, and self-compassion.

Whether you’re working towards big goals, navigating a life transition, or simply not feeling like yourself, it would be my pleasure to support you on your mental health journey. Therapy can be a space for growth, and I believe in the power of putting in the work, even when it feels uncomfortable. Both strength and vulnerability are key to the process, and I believe that everyone can benefit from accommodations tailored to their individualistic needs.

Grief, death/dying, illness, loss, and major life transitions can crack us wide open and change our lives. It can be hard to find an equilibrium again, especially with numerous ideas about doing things "the right way." Likewise, being exposed to others suffering, working under difficult healthcare-system demands, and shouldering heavy expectations can lead to overwhelm, burnout, and stress. Naming these experiences often put us in touch with the desire for things to be different - whether its about grief, a sense of self, relationships, or career.

Are you reeling from a significant plot twist in your life? Whether you are experiencing a life change that is of your own choosing or something entirely beyond your control, the stories you tell yourself have a profound impact on your individual well-being and your relationships. Transitions can shake your confidence and challenge your identity but they also offer unique opportunities for growth. Contrary to what many of us are led to believe, finding your way in this world doesn’t have to be a solo endeavor.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that healing and growth occur through relationships and our connections with others. I believe that everyone desires a sense of belonging and thrives within a community. As your therapist, my role is to accompany you on your journey, providing a safe and comfortable space for you to explore your inner world and the world around you. I have experience working with teens, adult women, and gender-expansive individuals. I have worked closely with those facing relationship issues, low self-worth, life transitions, depression, anxiety, and intimate partner violence.

As a licensed psychologist, I provide validation, empathy, and support for all of my clients. Using warmth and compassion, I collaborate with clients to facilitate empowerment and acceptance in their lives as they move toward meaningful change. In my work, I incorporate an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, while also using elements of person-centered therapy, such as genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy. Drawing from these approaches and others, allows me to meet clients where they are in their journey, develop a strong therapeutic alliance, and move toward goals for growth.

Families, couples and individuals impacted by trauma can find it difficulty to get the help they need. Trauma can impact a families basic ability to communicate and get along, fuel a couples difficulty to feel safe and heard by one another and erode an individuals ability to self regulate. It is common to feel stuck and more often than not, unaddressed or unresolved trauma is the culprit. If you suspect there is trauma at play, holding you and your loved one back from real progress and change, real long lasting change is here. Follow me on IG b.p.r. services. I will be starting a segment called Ask Dr. B for the underserved.

While I am on a waitlist for new clients, I have immediate openings for gender affirming care letters. I can offer this service free of charge for those who can't afford it. Poet Anne Sexton wrote, "That the worst of anyone Can be, finally, An accident of hope." If you're here, you probably feel at your worst. Maybe a traumatic event has left you feeling broken and lost. Perhaps what you've been doing to cope just isn't working anymore, or is doing more harm than good. Whatever your reasons, I'm glad you're thinking about therapy. This process can be scary and takes hard work, and I welcome anyone courageous enough to seek out hope.

I believe everyone has the capacity for growth and self-actualization. We are the best experts on ourselves and have tremendous capacity for change. However, sometimes we don't know how to put that potential to use. Sometimes, anxiety, trauma or low self-esteem can keep us from coping with circumstances or trusting our abilities. We feel trapped, overwhelmed or helpless. But it doesn't have to stay this way. Therapy can provide the support to feel accepted and the confidence to start facing your biggest challenges.
